This Adirondack Youth Lodge provides shelter for troubled youth from various counties in Northern New York. BDA’s goal for its design was to provide a comfortable, safe, and welcoming environment that provides the “home atmosphere” these youth lack. The biggest challenge to this goal was that the design had to include features for the privacy and protection of residents, while still maintaining this desired warm, non-institutional environment.

In addition to achieving all of the design goals this 4,500 SF, $1 million facility was completed early and under budget. This result was a success for both the client as well as the adolescents who now have a place they can feel proud to call home.
